STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. GENERAL
Whilst Greenwich Auctions Partnership Ltd makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of their Catalogue and the description of any lot:

a) each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of descriptions
b) Greenwich Auctions Partnership Ltd does not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendors so to certify and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the vendor and are not, themselves, responsible for such claims.
c) all statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally, as to any of the matters set out in b above, are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Greenwich Auctions Partnership Ltd, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify, and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims.
d) the Auctioneer must receive any claim under any Statute in writing within 10 days of the day of the sale.

2. THE AUCTION
a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the auction, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the auction without, in any case, giving any reason or without previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve, or at the Auctioneers discretion.
